The North Koreans are starving. Dangerous situation, very dangerous,much more than anything going on in ME or anywhere else in the world. I read that if the UN or America sends food to these people, they have to send it in plain, unmarked sacks and boxes because Kim Jong Il has the population believing that the food comes from him. This is a bad situation brewing.

I'm sure the UN will send Peacekeepers to NK in a few years to guarantee that they get the food they need..

i say we yank the leader, hees crazy

[CodeRed68]

this NK dude is having his cake and eating it too.. he can spend 90% of his country's economy on military and nukes and the rest of the world appeases him and feeds his people.
I know it is for humanitarian purposis but cmon !

Thier military (nuclear) programs are bankrupting their country. I am supposed to send my tax dollars (food) to help these war mongers? Damn communists, let them starve. Or better yet, look the other way for a month, and let South Korea take the north back

[PraiseA||ah]

South Korea can't take the North back from what I understand, they're not strong enough. Indeed, I think it's the other way around. Technically we are still at war with North Korea anyway. Man does this bring out the old rant I did when we went to war with Iraq. Iraq was NEVER a threat to the US but NK WAS! Bush needs to be impeached for lying! I mean really, if it weren't for those hypocritical Republicans who say it's not OK to lie, specifically about whether or not Clinton got some action with another woman (none of anyone's business and an absolutely private affair) I think he would have been impeached long ago. They really shouldn't be protecting this current smacktard of a president whose lies are SO much bigger and have a MUCH greater impact on us. It's really an unpardonable offense.
I guess that's what politics is though. The art of covering up your own bullshit by pointing out the other guys. I must say, the current administration seems to have the majority of this country fooled. So much for the 'wisdom of the masses'.

[CodeRed68]

Not to get into a poliital discussion (first of all, it is not allowed here) but... Regardless what anyone says or wants you to believe, Iraq was all about an extension of the invasion of Afghanistan... and the war on terror, in addition to just taking out a modern Hitler style regime.
So.. that being said.. i agree, the US/allies should take out NK also and call it a day.

Half of the North Korean army would defect/surrender if given the chance.

Savage.. that is great.. LOL

Have you guys seen lately on TV, the tanks rolling through the NK city (not sure what city) in a military parade? It is like a bad flashback.. circa Soviet Union year 1980.
Yikes !!

[Namloot]

The Soviet economy collapsed also.

Unless that government is propped up from outside by well meaning, and incredibly friggin stupid, idealists.

THANKS BILL!

No kidding Ingus..and without making this political, most people think Bush is dumb. Not that I agree or disagree completely with that, but Bill was an absolute moron for sure as history can attest to.
